Alex Foster
Hello!
I’m Alex, and I’m an illustrator from Margate, UK, and I live and work here from my home studio by the sea.
I use a layered and hand drawn approach in my work, to create maps and illustrations for lots of different uses like websites, books, prints, clothing and other bits.
Head over to my shop to see my latest print release, or follow me on Instagram for recent work, DIY & garden stuff, and general drawings and dog photos.

In 2024 Latif Nasser with Radiolab helped to officially rename a quasi-moon of Venus to ‘ZOOZVE’ due to my misreading of 2s as Zs. Listen to the full episode here.
In 2015 I won a World Illustration Award for my Totally Thames poster, and inspired by this we made a workshop creating a map with families at Somerset House.
My House Portrait drawing service was featured on national TV, in the Guardian, Brigitte Magazine, and more. I’ve drawn 440+ houses to date.
